|  Smith and Wesson Model 629 6" 44 Magnum I recently purchased a 6" S & W described above off of Guns America-got it Saturday and took it out to the range to try it out today. Shot .44 Special and .44 Magnum. I couldn't believe the differnce between the Special and Magnum loads-like day and night. Had not a problem with the .44 Special as far as recoil was concerned. The .44 Magnums were a different story-needless to say I only shot 6 of these and went back to the .44 Specials. I also have a Model 629 8 3/8" 44 Magnum and the recoil is easier to handle on this one as compared to the 6" |

|  Smith and Wesson Model 629 6" 44 Magnum Neophyte, Seems like I can't get enough of them. Got a 7 1/2 Ruger Redhawk 44 on the way. Can't wait to shoot it. Am waiting until I get it to try the 300 grain 44's-probably tear my hand off. Is it safe to fire the 300 grain in my 6" and 8 3/8" Model 629's? Thanks |

| Redhawk Vigilante: Sir; I don't know about the 629's. Sir; I do know the Rugers will and ask for more. Super Blackhawk, Super Redhawk and plan to have more.Rehawk is an outstanding model from Ruger. Will they tear your hand off? No. Will you get a thump. just let the grip do what it does. It'll roll in your hand and re-set for the next.Shoot a box of 240-250+ until you get comfortable. Follow up when you can.
